🛶 CANU (CSM Automatic Network Utility)

will float through a Shasta network and make switch setup and validation a breeze.

CANU can be used to:

  • Check if switches (Aruba, Dell, or Mellanox) on a Shasta network meet the firmware version requirements
  • Check network cabling status using LLDP
  • Validate BGP status
  • Validate that SHCD spreadsheets are configured correctly and pass a number of checks
  • Validate an SHCD against actual network cabling status to check for mis-cabling
  • Generate switch configuration for an entire network
  • Convert SHCD to CCJ (CSM Cabling JSON)
  • Use CCJ / Paddle to validate the network and generate network config
  • Run tests against the mgmt network to check for faults/inconsistencies.
  • Backup switch configs.
